Swimming Lessons The Club operates lessons based on the Austswim and Royal Life Saving Society programs. Swimming Lessons are conducted over an eight-week period coinciding with the Victorian school term. The lessons for ‘Infant’ and ‘Pre-School’ and ‘school-age’ children run for 30 minutes.

All swimming instructors hold current qualifications in (at minimum) swim instructing and water safety skills, Level 1 first aid and CPR.

INFANT LESSONS (AGES 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS)The emphasis at this level is on gaining confidence and familiarisation with water through fun activities and games. At this level of lessons, a parent or accompanying adult is required to be in the water with the child. The instructor will guide adult and child through a variety of activities where each child will learn and develop at their own pace. Positive encouragement and reinforcement is constantly practiced to aid the child’s development however adults must be prepared to demonstrate activities themselves as a process of ‘imitation’ therefore learning.

PRE-SCHOOL & SCHOOL-AGED LESSONS (AGES 3+YEARS)As children enter Pre-School lessons they begin to learn the fundamental water familiarisation competencies which are required to continue on to learning proper swimming techniques. The Pre-School structure consists of two levels and children must successfully complete the ‘Pre-School Introductory Level’ before progressing to ‘Pre-School Level 1’.

Once in School-aged lessons, children will continue to expand their development by learning and refining the various swimming stroke styles and water safety skills to survive. There are 7 levels with the School-aged structure and children must successfully demonstrate the ability to complete the competencies required at each level in order to progress to the next level.

Please see opposite table for further information regarding specific levels & required competencies.

SWIM SCHOOL INFORMATION• Lesson payments must be made on or before the first lesson.

• Children should never by left unattended within the Centre, especially near or in the pool.

• All children not toilet trained must wear appropriate swimwear including an ‘aqua-nappy’. Aqua-nappies are available at reception for purchase.

• If required, a credit on a ‘paid in-full’ term booking will only be issued by management when a doctors certificate is produced.

• We do not offer make-up lessons for missed classes unless it is the fault of the centre that a lesson has been cancelled due to instructor illness or unavoidability.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT WITHIN THE PROGRAMIt is important for parents to remember that a swimming lesson once a week will not guarantee a child’s utmost safety in or around the water. It is up to you as parents to reinforce, practice, educate and encourage the skills and competencies learnt throughout swimming lessons as often as possible with your child. Suggested ways to maximise your child’s learning progression in swim lessons include:

• encourage your child to practice, outside of swimming lessons, the skills they have learnt or are learning.

• provide positive reinforcement and encourage every achievement, no matter how big or small.

• avoid comparing your child’s development with other children, as all children will develop at their own pace.

• most of all - swimming is fun therefore make swimming lessons an enjoyable experience and as a result children will look forward to attending lessons and participant fully within the class.

‘ Remember the best skill you can give your child is the skill to stay alive in and around water.’

If you require any further information or would like an enrolment form, please speak to one of our friendly Swim instructors or reception staff.
